Same price, same subtle full-length rocker, same metal-free construction, similarly high ranking, but the narrower, turnier Gotama is a whole nother flavor of powder sk It gives up some stability and flotation to the Shiro, but it's more playful (No. 3 in Forgiveness) and far quicker, with an easier-to-pivot feel that's enjoyable in tight spots. Testers deemed the Shiro better at what it doesï¿½hammering wide-open powderï¿½but preferred the Gotama for real-world versatility.
